Answer
Hi Walter,

Gotta love those ''quick-disconnect'' lines!

I'm not sure of the style Chrysler was using in '99 but I think it was the nylon-insert type. You need to slide the tool around the end of the terminal and then slide the round end in UNDER the nylon-insert. To disconnect you'll need to push the line, with tool inserted, in towards the trans or cooler depending on which end your working with (there is a rubber O-ring that offers resistance so push firmly) so the tool reaches the clip that holds the line and then you should feel it release.

If this does not describe the line you're working with, send a follow-up question or email me a picture of it (knuckle@knucklebusters.us) and I'll try to help you more.

Thanks for the question, I hope this information helps you.
